The World Is Too Much With Us
The world is too much
with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we
lay waste our powers;—
Little we see in Nature
that is ours;
We have given our hearts
away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her
bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be
howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now
like sleeping flowers;
For this, for
everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. Great
God! I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a
creed outworn;
So might I, standing on
this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would
make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus
rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow
his wreathed horn
